Ok, i’m late to this one. My first blog post from an air plane – somewhere over Montreal on my way to speak at the The WorldBlu Forum. Have also helped WorldBlu create “The Grid” – a live interactive bloggy like site where you’ll be able to find transcripts, recordings, blogs, photos, etc.

Trine-Maria Kristensen mailed a customer the other day saying that i would be coming along for a meeting because we needed some “no compromises attitude” for the meeting. However frank it was it kind of reasoned with me and my thinking these days. Not that i don’t understand compromises and make a lot of them my selves every day, but because compromises aren’t solutions to today’s major paradigm shifts. They worked as solutions for incremental change/evolution within a paradigm, but in paradigms shifts there’s no room for compromises.

Douglas Rushkoff: Blasted Blasts
As always Rushkoff sums it up really well. My deep regards to the people and families in London who has had their life’s changed for ever.
But my reaction is disillusional.

Busy week…
Organic, the wifi platform company, that i co-founded in 2002 finally launched and had a wonderful launch presentation with 60 people and a really good energy. Lot’s of people happy about where they are in life and doing the best work of their lifes. Corporate guys talking about going the startup way, serial entrepreneurs onto the next thing – and the “young” global superstars like DHH and Hartvig. Felt like something is happening – let’s just hope it can turn into a long burn this time.
Also did a Meet …

My old copy of Stewart Brand’s legendary and more relevant than ever book, “How Buildings Learn: What happens After They’re Built“, is missing. It’s out of print for the original hardcover and for a classic such as this a new paperback won’t cut it.
I remember borrowing it to somebody perhaps a year go? (And yeah, i need an enterprise book management system!)

Living is…
Getting home from work and having the kid crawling wildly towards you, throwing himself in your arms with an enthusiastic smile for the first time.

In the category of places you need to visit once in your life
Shopped at the world’s first IKEA store in Älmhult, Sweden. Bought some stuff for the kid.
